Build your own simple backyard Biochar Kiln and start making biochar for Terra Preta

How to Make a Biochar Kiln (TerraPreta.org)

"There is a chimney built into the lid. The lid does not sit flush on the kiln, but there is a gap between the lid and the kiln. The draft created by the chimney sucks secondary air into the chimney, where it gets mixed with the pyrolysis gas to burn it."

Inexpensive, Home-Built Biochar Kilns, the Adam-Retort (Biocoal.org)

Produces about one metric ton of biochar a week and burns/recycles the syngas produced.
